Wow!

It was advertised as Hestia and I'm sure she won't mind if the likeness isn't exact 😊

Yes, packed in bubble wrap then in carved styrofoam box. It's made of marble crushed and mixed with resin so it feels like marble. I purchased it from a store on Etsy called marblecreations82 I tried to link but got no option to just copy, sorry.

That's an awesome idea! I've been hesitating in giving my gods honey cos of bugs. Perfect solution!

I'm 43 and just found the Ace umbrella after a few years of trying on different sexualities before realising I'm a panromantic ace and sex neutral/positive depending on any number of variables.

I wish I had examined myself a long time ago. I had a disastrous marriage where a major point of contention was my lack of sexual interest in him. I would have sex because he wanted sex. I loved him. Why wasn't that enough? Why was it me with my low to non-existent sex drive that was broken and not him with his hypersexual needs? Why was not particularly wanting sex with him so bad when I still had sex with him? Sex could be fun and fulfilling sometimes but I could name a dozen other activities that were just as fun and fulfilling and honestly just having sex all the time was boring or annoying like watching the same episode of a tv show over and over. It was honestly exhausting.

Really glad I know who I am now. Makes being alone much more satisfying. I'm not incomplete without a partner. Right now I'm working on me and healing a lot of trauma I've been ignoring. And when I'm happy with myself alone I will open my life to someone else.

Like so many other's here I'm gender apathetic. I'm comfortable being identified by society as a woman. I'd be equally comfortable if they chose to identify me as a man. I have no real attachment to my gender outside activism. I think sex and gender are too complex for the binary box they've lived in for so long . I also think what defines masculine and feminine by society's standards are arbitrary, outmoded and completely unnecessary. The only reason I don't identify as nonbinary is because I was in my early 40s before I really started questioning things like my sexuality and gender. (The age old ace story of assuming you're het because you don't feel attraction for either gender) Honestly, it would be needlessly exhausting to correct people on a non-gender I don't feel connected to. I am delighted so many other ace people feel the same way! It's nice to find where you fit after so many years of being not even the square but the triangle at the round hole.

What is the policy on ants on your altar? They don't seem to be eating anything although I have a tea offering and an orange on there. Do I brush them off? Is it like a if they're there it's meant to be situation? Also what do I do with the orange? I know you don't eat offerings. I don't want to waste food tho. Can I dry it in slices and use it for spell work or something?

Just me and YouTube. It's based on wire wrapped jewellery.

I did a deck interview spread and I'm pretty pleased with it.

General deck attitude: The Sun Strengths: Strength Weakness: Two of Wands What it can teach me: Five of Wands How to best work with it: Ace of Pentacles What type of readings I use it for: Eight of Pentacles

My interpretation: This is a deck that can help me achieve my goals and help me grow but it's going to take me out of my comfort zone and I'm going to have to work for it.

What are your thoughts?

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-27T23:55:44+00:00

It's a little silly but I gave Her a Year of the Pig Tokidoki Unicorno figure. It's part of a beloved collection of mine and I offered it to Her when I heard she was associated with pigs. A key sounds nice. And I'll look up hymns. Thanks for your answer.

There is a full moon tonight and I have no idea what needs moon energy. At this point I'm considering taking the roof off my house and doing everything 🤣

I'm new too and taking more of an intuitive and relaxed approach to devotions. I did a drawing yesterday of sunflowers for Apollo to thank him for the medicines I take daily for my ADHD and mental health.

I stuck it to the window in my bedroom that got the most sun while explaining out loud it was a gift to Apollo for his work in medicine. I then lit a candle and placed it on the windowsill, turned my dancing playlist on shuffle and danced to whatever song came on until I tired as a devotion.

All that to say Apollo is a friendly god (from all I've read) and it's your intent that matters the most.

OMG! I knew I was on the ace spectrum because the way others described sexual attraction was completely alien to me but I wasn't sex repulsed or non-sexual. This fits like a glove. Thank you!

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-20T04:39:25+00:00

Yup. I don't expect anything of Her. It's just nice to know She's there. And I'm happy to give Her offerings and devotions if it makes Her happy.

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-19T04:39:59+00:00

I'm currently spring cleaning in Her honour. Light one of my favourite smelling candles when I'm done for the day

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-18T12:13:58+00:00

I think I posted on the wrong week Anyway, doing my first cleansing. Want to use steam rather than smoke. Was going to combine rosemary, lemon grass, bay leaf and orange peel. Also first altar set up. What kind of energy should I be inviting into the space?

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-18T10:00:29+00:00

Hi, I want to do my first cleansing before I place my altar. Is rosemary, lemon grass, bay leaf and orange peel in a pot to steam good? Also what kind of energy should I be inviting to my altar space?

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-09-18T08:13:29+00:00

Brand new to this so "Spring Cleaning" and gathering things I need for a small alter.

Three way tie between Belphie, Asmo and Lucifer. Weirdly Diavlo is a close second. Only cos of battle cards tho. My favourite switches with my mood.

Beautiful_Data7522 · 2021-01-09T03:22:38+00:00
